Obviously, thinking through how the information is going to be distributed is important for your site, but with publishing sites it’s particularly important to consider ways that you can structure the site to help your company for the fact that:

They’ll likely be adding several pieces of content per day/week

Much of that content will often be very time-sensitive

The aggregate of that content will often drive significantly more organic search traffic than any of their static category pages (and even the site’s home page)

As a result, you’ll want to identify different ways to pull archived content closer to (as in: fewer clicks away from) the site’s home page (which conserves most of the link equity); and, you’ll also want to find a way to get more link equity to newer pages.
